MMC invests in AI-powered insurtech business, omni:us

omni:us, the only AI company of its kind fully focused on insurance, announced the closure of its Series A round, bringing its total funding to date to $22.5 million.

MMC participated in the round, led by Berlin-headquartered VC Target Global. Talis Capital and existing investors, Unbound and Anthemis, also participated in the round, demonstrating their continued commitment to the company’s ambitions. This funding reinforces omni:us’ position as a market leader in enabling insurers to become more data-driven and adapt to today’s customer expectations.

As a key player in the major digital revolution currently taking place in the insurance industry, omni:us has developed cutting-edge AI technology that empowers all kinds of organisations within the sector: many of the top global insurance companies – such as Allianz, Baloise and AmTrust – count on its deep digital transformation expertise in order to innovate and meet growing customer needs. At the same time, insurtech firms – such as Wefox – use omni:us to boost efficiency and focus on its core competencies.

Sofie Quidenus-Wahlforss, CEO and Founder of omni:us, said:

We know the insurance industry will move from process to data-driven over the coming years. To meet this need, omni:us is the trusted partner, supporting insurance companies along this transformational path. Our deep data based approach enables insurers to better understand their customers and launch new products and services on a more bespoke and individual level. With this round of funding, we will bring our cognitive systems to the next level and expand into the US market later this year.
